Radnor EAC lines up town hall, hybrid access as leaf‑blower phase‑out debate heads to commissioners
Summary
The EAC urged community turnout for an April 23 town hall on phasing out gas leaf blowers after mixed reactions at an April 7 town hall; members requested Zoom access for broader participation and asked commissioners to attend to listen to public comment.
EAC members discussed next steps for a proposed phase‑out of gas leaf blowers after a town‑hall presentation and public feedback. Dan and other members said the April 7 session produced mixed views among residents and organizers urged supporters to attend the April 23 town hall where the board of commissioners will hear public comment.
Ian (staff) said hybrid/Zoom access could be added and suggested a moderated chat/Q&A to manage simultaneous in‑room and virtual participation. One member noted that commissioners attend such town halls to listen rather than to advocate; the EAC asked members to email outreach suggestions and volunteered to help publicize the meeting.
A member summarized public response as "about 45 to 5" in favor of the phase‑out at prior events, and organizers reiterated the usefulness of broad turnout to show support for a phased policy approach. The EAC agreed to request Zoom access and to coordinate promotion through the township calendar and social channels before April 23.
